  • From what I’ve read the new mayor has withdrawn all orders from the previous mayor following his criminal indictment on the grounds that they may be self serving to the previous mayor and/or made as political favors intended to avoid prosecution.

    I’ve also read the new mayor is reviewing each to see which are worth reimplenting in part or in whole.

    Whether or not this was a wise choice is up for debate, but it is no surprise that those affected were ready to pounce in order to score political points. Someone associated with the new mayor must have seen this coming for this particular religiously charged topic, and must have known the NY press would not be forgiving.





  • It’s worth trying to see if you can get eyeballs on the room immediately above that location. If you have multiple floors windows are usually placed in parallel, one floor above the other. So it may be not a plumbing issue, but a window above could have a leak from the exterior that’s traveling downwards. Or the roof. I’ve seen leaks presenting evidence 20+ feet from the source before. They can take really unexpected routes through a building.






  • Another big area of Windows that uses kernel-level drivers is anti-cheating engines for games. Microsoft has been speaking with game developers about how to reduce the amount of kernel usage, but it’s a more complicated use case as cheaters often have to purposefully tamper with their machine to disable protections and get cheating engines running.

    “A lot of [game developers] would love to not have to maintain kernel stuff, and they are very interested in how they do that,” Weston says. “We’ve been talking about the requirements there, and I think we’ll have more to say on that in the near future.” Riot Games told me last year that it’s willing to follow potential Windows security changes and “recede from the kernel space.”
